About

Emilia is one of the most promising new talents of her generation, and in her short career has already performed before illustrious figures such as Princess Anne and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Aged 11 when this disc was recroded, Emilia is one of Signum Record's youngest artists. Emilia made her debut singing Rule Briannia at The Sail for Gold Ball 2004 when she was just nine. Since then, she has completed a full-time chorister post at Salisbury Cathedral, leaving in July 2008 with a music scholarship. During this period she sang in Venice (San Marco) and many of the Great Cathedrals of Tuscany and made a tour of Vienna and Salzburg.

The young soprano here sings a selection of traditional folk tunes, including The Last Rose of Summer and Steal Away, alongside Handel's Laschia ch'io Pianga and If by Michael Nyman, who stated that Emilia's technique and sound is "absolutely gorgeous".
